Dentistry is a vast subject unlike what other people think, people think that as dentistry deals only with one part of the body then why do they have 5 + 3 years of course for learning about such a small part of the body whereas in the same time the medical professionals are learning about the whole body.
This was the question put before me by many of my educated friends as well, So i am going to write down a brief note on the branches of dentistry, which are known as specialisations which will make you understand what dentistry really is!!!
Branches of dentistry:
1) Oral Medicine and Oral Radiology.
2) Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
3) Community Dentistry (or) Preventive Dentistry.
4) Pedodontics
5) Endodontics
6) Periodontics
7) Orthodontics
8 ) Prostodontics
9) Oral Pathology
10) Implantology
11) Geriatric dentistry:

Hi there, you are right dentistry is not at all easy it is a difficult and at the same time demanding.
It is really good to hear from you that you want to become an dentist, i think dentistry is a good profession now a days as there is huge improvement in the way people see dentistry and the awareness about their teeth health also helps.
All the best to you.
It is hard to graduate but once you become a licensed dentist you’ll be okay. Much better if you take up a dental specialization.
